Kigali, Rwanda

Rwanda is renowned for its beautiful scenery and is often referred to as ‘The Land of a Thousand Hills.’ It is an ideal place to visit to appreciate the natural world, including the endangered mountain gorillas and the diversity of wildlife. The impressive volcanic mountain ranges offer a lifetime’s worth of experiences.

Kigali, the capital, boasts rolling hills and valleys, and its cleanliness is unmatched. It has been the economic, cultural, and transport hub since Rwanda gained independence from Belgium in 1962.

 

While the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi saw over a million people killed, Rwanda has made enormous strides to ‘Remember, Unite, and Renew’ and has become the vibrant country it is today, with a modern capital city.
